We salute our icons of travel, those consistently excellent places or brands that deliver time and time again.

If you’re looking for your next great meal in this moveable feast we call life, it might be time to head to these often-overlooked places.

Kandy is in Sri Lanka’s central province, surrounded by mountains and their tea plantations and host to many sacred Buddhist sites.
